Throughout the project execution phase, it is critical that the Project Manager actively organize and aggressively manage each of these discrete components of the project.
Scope Management
It is imperative that our complex, fixed-price projects have a clear project scope. Upon project commencement, the Project Manager will work with the Clients team to make sure that all parties have a consistent understanding of the project scope and the associated work products. Changes to the scope must be introduced through adherence to the Change Control process. The Change Control process is initiated when any project party identifies an addition or deviation to the approved project scope.
Time Management
The successful delivery of the TIER solution is dependent on the completion of an intricate set of related activities as presented and managed in the project work plan. Time Management is the set of project management activities that the Netsmart Project Management Team, directed by the Project Manager, perform to track each of the detailed tasks and the resultant work products. Schedule deviations that result in material changes to work product delivery dates will be evaluated and remediation approaches will be developed and deliberated.
Cost Management
There are many components of cost in a project, including Client and Netsmart resources, facilities, infrastructure and hardware and software. Each of these cost components must be actively monitored against the budgets throughout the project.Quality Management
Quality Management is the set of activities that are performed to make sure that all project work products meet or exceed the needs for the Clients project. Netsmart's project approach consists of multi-tiered quality assurance activities throughout the execution and delivery. All document and software work products will undergo internal reviews prior to release.
Communications Management
Communications Management consists of the activities that are necessary to provide the timely collection, storage, and dissemination of project information. The prime goal is seamless, cohesive, and accurate communications across all working project teams and project stakeholders.
Risk Management
Risk Management is comprised of the activities that are proactively performed by the Netsmart Project Management Team to identify and quantify the potential project risks, develop and execute appropriate mitigation plans.
Risks are inherent to large information technology projects. Proactive identification and navigation through the risks mitigates the potential disastrous effects of an unplanned occurrence of a major risk. For each risk identified, the Project Manager will analyze and assess the potential impact on the project's objectives, cost, schedule, quality, and user satisfaction. The probability and potential impact for each risk will be analyzed and considered for the development of the appropriate mitigation strategies.Principal Accountabilities Implementation Management 100%
